ERJ-170 Hopefuls! Brush Up On Your Inst. X-Check!
The 170 flight directors are different from what most are familiar with. Learning how to fly them requires a good basic instrument crosscheck. Be sure to understand the difference between control and performance instruments.
Sounds basic, I know...but we're seeing continued problems in this area. Get as much hand flying time as you can with emphasis on basic airspeed and altitude control. |
what type of FD is it?

A dual cue FD used for takeoff and a single cue used for all other flying. The dual cue is the 'crossbar'. http://webpages.charter.net/alfakilo/fd.jpg Here is the single cue: http://webpages.charter.net/alfakilo/fd2.jpg Compared to other FD types, the single cue is small. It is hard to determine bank angle when only looking at it...consequently, a crosscheck must include other items such as the sky pointer to help maintain a consistent flight attitude. The magenta colored crossbar and diamond are the FDs. |
You've got to love Honeywell.

easy...............if you ask me.......
jeez, seems to me if you need help, just get a copy of flight sim X and play with all of the different airplanes.... my $.02 worth..... :) |
Couldn't agree more, bottom line is that it's just a new version of an old video game.

This looks similar to the options on the A-320. The single cue is what we used while shooting nonprecision approaches. They always call it the bird. I think they both work great. I am not 100% sure if it operates the same but it sure looks the same. The other is pretty standard.
